Just had some big spot rain here , though its stopped again . Sky looks heavy and its looking quite dark in the direction of Wolverhampton .

I know! It's heading away from us though...we need it to start developing just a tad further south now...

..I think it could too.

Looks like may get some heavy rain. None electrified cells close by.

Aye, a quick glance at the radar one would like to think it won't be long before the 'dead zone' across the central Mids is no more.  Here's hoping.  

[STORMGUY]

Very dark clouds here now lets hope i get some more again.

[William Grimsley]

Sky still looking unstable here, come on! Give it a few hours and it'll take off down here!

[William Grimsley]

Something has to happen, look at our sky! https://video.nest.com/live/OIJL3I

Yep I'm expecting central and southern Midlands to start joining in the fun in the coming hours, not quite as intense/widespread as further north though.

[Chris.R]

Any thoughts for up here in Merseyside? We have a warning but it's all gone quiet.

Certainly not out of the woods yet. Euro4 has a belter of a shower/storm at 8pm but I'd take that with a pinch of salt

[Darren Bown]

The rain looks impressive, the lightning radar, less so currently.

I imagine the stuff in east Wales is our best bet as it drifts north.

[William Grimsley]

Mid level convection going up to our south now, holy smokes is this the day?!

[Stephanie Starr]

Any idea which way the storm just north ofor leceistor is heading 

[Sparkiee storm]

Some cells popping off west of Brum.

[Nick L]

My hometown of Cannock is getting absolutely mullered, flooded roads over there.

[Chris K]

I wouldn't be too excited, but mid-level instability is really kicking off here out of nowhere, the towers aren't exactly that high but some towering is starting in the Altocumulus cloud. Not sure how much of this will lead to anything but it might...

[Gord]

Definitely starting to darken all around now...

...we should see something here very soon.

[The PIT]

Just steady rain here.

Looking at he radar my area could be in for a rough evening

Good'un ain't it!! Rain is exceptional and have seen some cracking IC lightning up in the anvil! 

[STORMGUY]

yaeaaaaahhhhhhhh  Thunder here 

[Guest]

Ugh! It's so wonderfully oppressive out there! Very muggy and thundery, with dark skies and steady rainfall. Heavier stuff ganging up to the west...
